Abstract

A surgical simulator comprising a haptic arm capable of simulating forces generated during surgery from interactions between a surgical tool and tissue operated upon. The simulator further comprises a visual display capable of depicting a three-dimensional image of the simulated surgical tool and a physics-based computer model of the tissue. The haptic arm controls the movement and orientation of the simulated tool in the three-dimensional image, and provides haptic feedback forces to simulate forces experienced during surgery. Methods for simulating surgery and training users of the simulator are also described.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of operation simulation, in particular to an operation simulator system and an operation method using tactile force feedback. Background technique [0002] In many parts of the world, people suffer from blindness, although it is curable. Blind people cannot see to work, take care of themselves or anyone else, and in most cases, do not receive proper medical attention. Many blind people died because of their blindness. Much blindness in the world is now curable because blindness is often caused by cataracts that can be removed from the eye to restore vision. Unfortunately, resources are simply not available to provide this cure. 30 million curable people are still blind today. Ten years from now the number will double unless something is done. [0003] The impact of blindness is especially devastating compared to other types of disability, and can be economically devastating. In most cases, vision loss due to cat...
